Royal Conservatoire Scotland Jaco Pastorius Tribute Gig

Young 16 year old lad called Sam McLeod carried off the whole gig with aplomb. Info here...it was brilliant!

Orchestration of the horns was redolent of Word of Mouth material.

Anyway - £11 for this excellence?

Wow!

Good luck to the kid. Would love to have seen that.

I wish I'd have known about this, would have been a short stroll after work.

A 16 year playing this? Very well done indeed. I remember being the same age, and my bass teacher at school was always giving me jazz pieces to learn. I think it took me about 6 months to get 'Blues by Five' up to scratch for an exam - never mind playing a set of Jaco stuff to the public!

I went to a production of Tommy at the Conservatoire years ago and it was really well done. I should probably keep an eye on what else they're putting on, try to support you musicians a bit.
